Food Machinery Grease
SWEPCO 115 was formulated specifically to meet USDA/NSF H-1 and Canadian Food Inspection Agency "n" requirements for a grease capable of incidental contact in food and beverage processing industries . Not only does it achieve this requirement, but it does so while providing both superior performance and added protection from life threatening E-coli, Salmonella and Listeria bacteria. This aluminum complex grease is ideal for use in a wide range of food processing and packaging machinery. High and low temperature performance are superior to ordinary aluminum, lithium or calcium base food machinery greases. It also stays where you put it, providing long lasting service, extended greasing intervals and reduced grease consumption.
- Especially formulated for can seamers, juice extractors, filling equipment, labelers, packaging machinery, peelers, shaker screens, conveyors, valves, bread wrappers, meat cutting equipment and many other application.
- Excellent resistance to pounding or slinging out.
- High dropping point of 450o F (232oC).
- Excellent resistance to water washout.
- Highly acid and corrosion resistant.
- Excellent thermal and oxidation stability.
- Excellent pump ability.
- Available in tubes, pails.
- Available in tubes, pails, kegs & drums.
Purpose & Description
SWEPCO 115 Food Machinery Grease was developed especially for approved lubrication of equipment in the food and beverage industry. This pure, white, non-toxic grease provides outstanding lubrication of ball, roller,needle, journal and slider bearings. Its excellent pumpability also makes it effective for use in central lubrication systems. It is ideal for use in bakeries, fruit and vegetable processing operations, beverage filling and packaging, packing plants, dairies, water treatment plants anywhere a USDA/NSF Type H-1 or CFIA "n" grease is required.
Superior Performance
SWEPCO 115 Food Machinery Grease provides improved high and low temperature performance when compared to other ordinary aluminum, lithium or calcium base food machinery greases. A minimum dropping point of 450oF (232oC) and excellent low temperature pumpability enables SWEPCO 115 to perform well in a broad range of operating temperatures. Thermal stability and resistance to high temperature oxidation is also excellent. Alternate heating and cooling does not effect its physical characteristics which makes it an excellent recommendation for grease-lubricated couplings. Unexcelled water resistance makes it especially well suited for frequent washdown areas or wherever exposure to water is a consideration. Its superior adhesiveness seals out moisture and caustic contaminants, and its resistance to acids and corrosion means it provides exceptional service in the citrus fruit processing or other industries where caustic operating conditions exist.

In addition to improved performance, SWEPCO 115 Food Machinery Grease saves money because it stays where you put it. One major soft-drink bottler in Sacramento, California, reports that their grease usage in a can seamer operation decreased substantially with SWEPCO 115. Our maintenance department has stated that our seamer bearing life has improved dramatically drums grease usage prior to SWEPCO was at five drums (120-lb size) per year. We now use only two drums per year. We have found that our clean up time was also reduced. The SWEPCO product does not sling off of the seamer, which makes for a clean seamer operation. It is one of the highest quality products we have found.
